At me is Arcam alfa 6. By virtue of the different reasons it(he) has moved to a study (14 m2). With it(him) in a sheaf of CD Arcam alfa 5 +. It would be desirable to pick up half-resident students up to 800-1000 $. Music - a jazz and electronic, less often - rock. I understand, that it is necessary to listen, but can such amplifier was at somebody and accordingly there is an experience of selection to it(him) of acoustic systems.

So I have Technics SL-1300 that I picked up recently. Got it set up with my Denon AVR-1602 receiver and a Rolls pre-amp. Sounds pretty darn good. Only problem is for some odd reason it seems to be picking up some local radio station and reproducing it at a very low amplitude whenever the receiver is set to Phono (well in this case there is no build-in preamp, and therefore no specific Phono setting -- but in essence whenever the receiver is set to the turntabnle input) even if no record is spinning. Is my needle picking up radio frequencies? How do I remedy this? Thanks!

I am thinking of replacing a 13 year old 60 Watt Denon Amp.
I could not care less about video. I only care about music. Is it of Value to find a 2 Channel amp or just go with what is commonly made today a 5.1/6.1/7.1 Amp.

I need Value and Music quality is a priority.

Any suggestions.

Thanks

In general, how long does a cable/interconnect have to stay out of use before a lengthy burn-in is required? This is related not to new cables, but rather cables that have at one time been in use.

Assuming that new cables need around 150 hours, at what point would a previously used cable become completely idle and need this kind of cooking or do they ever need a complete burn-in again?

The top model PMA-SA1
PMA-SA11(only for japan yet)
PMA-2000AE
Denon site says the top model pma-sa1 sound better or as good as the best hybrid amps out there,they gave it a demo with B&W 802D,
The Stereo.de mag rated it as best reference combo along with the new
Denon DCD-SA1 sacd player.

It comes in two models for now:Electra 1007 Be and Electra 1027 Be,According to Focal,these two new models uses even a better Be tweeter.Anyone tested?

I have a Denon 3802 and I want new Infinity Main Towers.

I want either Infinity PRIMUS 360 , Beta 40, Beta 50.

What is the differences?

Best deal for the money?

Low end, med and high.

Thanks.

I just heard an advance copy of Gold Sounds by James Carter, Cyrus Chestnut, Ali Jackson, and Reginald Veal (it was released Sept. 27). It's new interpretations of songs by Pavement and I put off listening to it for a while because it sounded like it had to be a gimmick. Boy, was I wrong! It has really good sound and the music--at least in these arrangements--is pretty exciting.

I'm sure I'll end up useing it in reviews, but the print cycle takes so long and you guys should be checking this one out ASAP.
